Straight up lol

I scrolled down just for comments on the piss bottle 😂😂

It’s oil for the winches

@@johngy40ahhh makes sense thank you!!

Wow I miss youtube dislikes

Doesn’t look like he knows what’s going on with the codend. The thing is beat

I have never tried the shimp fishery, I was wondering about by-catch since the mess is so much smaller.

While it might be technically possible to run a trawl at 1000 meters (about 550 fathoms), the boat needed to overcome that much drag would be huge. Next question would be why do it? Most marketable fish live in the 30 - 50 fathom range.

@@denali9449we trawl in 500 to 800 fathoms for deep water species ie orange roughy ,cardinal fish and various dory’s the boat I work on is on 30 meters with four crew

It's free with govt subsidies. Also from conservationists that don't protect anything. Go ahead and contribute to destroying the planet! Good job. When your grandchildren have nothing to eat!

Allison Duffy throw it back

but its dead by then...

We fish nets with big mesh which lets the smaller unsellable fish out. At least 90% of what hits the deck is kept. The other fish have no market value.

We can sell almost everything we catch. The fish we throw over have no market value like; dog fish, rat fish. We recently found a market for dog fish so we may be able to keep them from now on. We only get a few cents a pound for them bet everything helps.

They even keep dolphins. They sell their fins. Trawling is messing up the ocean. You dont even catch fish anymore

I try not to push it that hard. I try to at most to a couple of two 18 hour day in a row. the danger of injury increases the more tierd you get.

they also did a trip before that, then went out again after I went home. I was surprisingly not tired. got good naps between dropping the net and pulling it up.

I was hoping to start doing a weekly blog of my fishing trips. I have a few more videos that I need to post.

nice. this was a good video. use it to show people what I did. after my next trip, I'll hopefully be part of the crew.

No, I make sure they are dumped where we don't tow.

😂 Your so full of shit I smell you. It’s obvious you where brainwashed by the best. The trawl does not ‘rototilling’ the bottom, it rolls across the top 😂. You’re either stupid or a fucking lier

Your right

Yeah, what about your grandchildren. Good job, way to create a legacy!!

I can eat a couple pounds a week. This fish was for commercial market.

Destroying the planet

Fool

There is bycatch in every fishery. Bycatch in simply fish that has no market value, nobody wants to eat it. Making Fertilizer is a possibility but we live in a remote area with now jobs but fishing. Our soil is too rocky to farm with and our reservation is very small. The first settlers attemped to make us into farmers but the crops wouldn't grow well enough so the pitch forks were made into hooks called Chaboots. (look up "Makah Fish Hook").Fishing is what my ancestors have done for thousands of years along with Whaling.

I did as you suggested and took time to look up Makah fish hooks. Even better I learnt a little more about your tribal and cultural practices. I am guilty of passing judgement without first taking time to understand the situation. I respect your right to exercise your cultural and indigenous practices as we do ours. I do maintain that much damage is done via trawling and as a pacific nation we live with those impacts on a daily basis. With respect to you my comment was offensive and I apologize.

At the end of the day we all need to eat. Even farmed fish harm the environment with excessive pollution.

What you idiots don't know is that trawling cultivates the bottom witch actually helps it

Hoops McCann thank you

Trawling destroys marine habitats and catches so much by-catch that just goes to waste as a result. Fishing is essential, absolutely, but it's bottom-trawling that isn't good if you want to keep fishing for many generations to come.

Giovani. I am currently working in marine science and was also a fisherman for many years so I do feel reasonably qualified to answer your comment. Firstly Trawling does not always harm marine habitats. Many marine habitats depend on trawlers turning over the sea bed in exactly the same way a farmer plough's his fields.The turning over of the seabed releases nutrients which start a chain of events ultimately leading up to the feeding of the fish swimming in the area. If the sea bed is left untouched it can become like a desert where very little plant life grows and few fish are found.To give you an example, during the second world war there was very little fishing done. Most fishermen were called up and their fishing vessels requisitioned for the navy to be used in mine sweeping etc. When the war ended and the men went back fishing they expected the sea's to be teaming with fish but exactly the opposite happened.The sea's were almost barren. It took a number of years before stock's started to grow again. It is true that during Trawling you will catch a number of species that will be discarded and thrown back overboard. This fish does not completely go to waste. It feeds the sea birds, other fish and shellfish. It is also no co-incidence that during the years of the EU Cod recovery programme when hundreds of fishing vessels were scrapped that seabird populations were decimated. These boats taken out of the fleet left less boats fishing and the birds starved to death. However, the main culprit in fish being discarded is not the fishermen. it is the Politicians who set fish quota's far too low so fishermen are forced into discarding marketable fish. Would you stand on a street corner and throw away your week's wages? No. Well fishermen do not want to do this either. The only reason they have to discard is because they are forced into it. Now I can hear you say they should fish by other more selective means such as lines. When you fish with line's you normally catch bigger mature fish ie the breeding stock. Take the breeding stock away and what is going to happen?.... Fish stock's will go down. If a boat needs to catch 10 tons a week to stay viable surely its better to take 10 tons of mixed size fish than 10 tons of the breeding stock. A lot of people read in the media and environment websites about fish stocks being decimated by Trawlers. Most of this is completely untrue and only serves to misinform the public. As I said earlier Its time to give these guys a break!

Hoops McCann The seabed isn't a field of soil. I've heard of some new trawling methods that are better, but for the most part, there is clear and undeniable evidence of what trawling does; photos of habitats that were once rich in coral and algae, now barren. I have no idea how you think indiscriminately scraping everything on the seafloor can somehow allow for a rich ecosystem. What's worse was that you told me that there was little fishing done during WW2. The demand for food, especially fish due to its convenience, rose. The sardine industry boomed, and the UK admiralty commissioned many trawlers and whalers. The massive by-catch(Because on average, it's 90% of what trawlers catch), if being eaten by birds, would cause a population boom, due to a dramatic increase of food available. That was unnatural to begin with, so of course many of them would die if that food surplus stopped. Lastly, the breeding stock... The whole point is that you're not supposed to take the fish before they have a chance to reproduce. There has never been a case where taking only the mature fish has depleted a population.

Drive 99 it’s also damaging the ecosystem

and harmful

billa bhai they don’t fish where coral is because it would tear the net

Are you against all forms of fishing?

Poison Blueberry its called food. and money...the two main things vital for humans yo keep up with this world

Stupid ass snowflake

The areas we fish are on sand and mud, and the net we use has large mesh to allow smaller unsellable fish out. The same areas have been fished for over 50 years, so towing our net on the bottom is not at all like cutting down old growth trees. I do care about the ecosystem its just that this is the most efficient way to catch the small sole fish. Their mouths are too small for hooks.

​@@DeepWater5453 When you are catching so many fish that they can't reproduce you are wiping them out... Taking away food and money longterm... some "snowflakes" just use their brain I guess.

​@@mitchellhogg4627 When you are catching so many fish and destroying their habitat, they can't reproduce. Doing so will wipe out your food and money source. It's called research. Try it.

Bj Mahoney, what is it then, picking poseys?

​@@christophergaynor1043 More raping the sea than anything

Keagan Jane so is driving cars

They been trawling like that for a 100 years you snowflake

And look at the state of the ocean floor because of it. Almost every inshore fishery in the world is at a fraction of its original level because of bottom trawling www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/feb/10/bottom-trawling-how-to-empty-the-seas Stop believing that scientists are lying to you. Denying truths is how you got Trump and look how badly that ended.

Hague1970 cry me a river.thats why they have closed areas these days which open in rotation every few years.we actually see an increase in prawns some years.every year is different.trawling promotes new growth just like when they burn land to promote growth.go and complain about something thats important like isis for example.

what does isis have to do with trawling? 'trawling promotes new growth'. No, it doesn't. when you rip up soft corals that are hundreds of years old they don't spawn new corals, they turn to underwater deserts. Do try and educate yourself.

That's called working for a living, making money, feeding the world, you candy ass little snowflake.

If you have fished, or studied fishing you will realize this is very destructive to the ecosystem. Scouring and disturbing the bottom destroys habitat. You have never fished...if you think this is good, do your homework

Fred Taylor They have been fishing like that for a 100 years, professor, long before you got educated. People like you are whats wrong with the world now. And just so you'll know I grew up in a fishing town, a town that's dead now because of educated fuckers like you. Have a nice day Fred.

+Joe jack It's important to be able to make a living off of fish for many more generations instead of just a few decades. That involves fishing responsibly, using sustainable methods and being careful of what you fish for how long.

People who talk without to know are allowed too

I did catch a bomb before and it was spraying out some nauseous chemicals. I was pretty nervous pushing it over the side. I should try to find that footage.

It's not fiction to me. It's very real to me and at this point the only way I can support my family.

You are a fucking moron

The nets we fish have big mesh and they let the smaller fish out so 90% of what hits the deck can be sold. This style of fishing has been done for 100 years and has been very stable. Regulations prevent overfishing and have been set be sustainable. I'm not planning on fishing for the rest of my life but its going to take a couple of years to transition into another job.

trollololol Another loser you'd be soooooo jelly if you new what I did for a living.....

Keagan Jane youre only 12? that explains alot

Keagan Jane wait 5 years then come back with a more educated response to an entire way of life

Where at in CT are fishing at

Used to fish out of new london

Jesus was a fishermen idiots
